Finestrat brings the figure of Queen Violant closer to children and young people within the framework of the Nou d’Octubre
28/09/2026The Finestrat Town Council continues to expand and improve public spaces dedicated to leisure, sports, and community life, with new projects that adapt these spaces to the needs and demands of local residents. One of the most recent projects has taken place in the Terra Marina residential area , where the existing children’s playground has been renovated and a new calisthenics park has been created for outdoor exercise. 
From this new facility, the mayor of Finestrat, Nati Algado , stated that “a key tool for us is listening to the needs of our citizens. That’s why, at the Family Festival held in June, we conducted a survey to gather their feedback, their feelings, and which areas they felt we should address. These proposals for sports areas and community spaces in various residential developments have emerged from that survey. We can now announce that in Terra Marina we have renovated this children’s playground and created a new sports area with this calisthenics park. And we are already working on another calisthenics park and sports court in Balcó de Finestrat.”
Details of the performance
At Terra Marina, the existing children’s playground has been renovated with the installation of a new play tower featuring a climbing area and slide, as well as new safety surfacing. The new space covers approximately 30 square meters.
Next to this children’s playground, the City Council has created a new calisthenics area of approximately 65 m², equipped with various exercise equipment, including two abdominal benches. The facility is designed to be inclusive, with elements adapted for people with reduced mobility.
The entire area has continuous safety rubber paving, both to improve comfort during sports practice and to guarantee suitable conditions of use.
The total investment for the work carried out in Terra Marina amounts to €26,000. The creation of the calisthenics park is part of Activity 3, “Finestrat Verde Pilot Action,” of the “SDGs Finestrat 2030: Training, Participation, and Sustainable Transformation” project, developed with financial support from the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs, and the 2030 Agenda. The project also responds to proposals gathered during the diagnostic and citizen participation process, which guided both the selection of this type of facility and its implementation in this area of the municipality. 
In this way, the new calisthenics park materializes in the public space one of the needs identified together with the citizens, turning the participatory process into a concrete action aimed at promoting physical activity, coexistence and a healthier and more inclusive use of public spaces.
More spaces for sport and leisure
This project complements the work the City Council is currently carrying out on another municipal plot opposite Balcón de Finestrat, where a former playground is being transformed into a new calisthenics area. Similarly, a multi-sports court is being built in this area, thus expanding the range of public spaces dedicated to physical activity and outdoor recreation.
“The works are already underway. They will be completed in the coming days. The area of intervention is the park located on the plot directly opposite the CEIP Balcó de Finestrat school, in the highest part of the area, which is also close to the high school. There, we will install another calisthenics park, as well as benches and tables. This is our commitment to continue improving public spaces so that children, young people, families, and seniors can enjoy them close to their homes, while also promoting outdoor sports, healthy habits, and community life,” concluded the mayor, Nati Algado.
prior public consultation
The creation of this new calisthenics area is part of Activity 3, “Finestrat Verde Pilot Action,” included in the municipal project “SDGs Finestrat 2030: Training, Participation, and Sustainable Transformation.” This initiative is the result of a diagnostic and citizen participation process carried out by the City Council, which has allowed for the identification of needs, the prioritization of areas for intervention, and the determination of both the type of public space to be created and its location.
Based on the feedback received, the need to create new spaces linked to outdoor sports, healthy habits, and community interaction was identified, and Terra Marina was selected as one of the areas for intervention. This process led to the implementation of the new calisthenics park, conceived as a space for transforming public space with a focus on sustainability, well-being, and inclusion.
This action has been carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030. PRESS OFFICE (28/09/2026)
